Maximus8, 29 Jul 2024You can try downloading an app called "NextRadio"... moreDoesn't always work even if your phone has a headphone jack, a lot of times NextRadio will just say "FM radio is not available on this device" including on Samsung phones. You REALLY have to do your research/homework these days to guarantee a phone has FM and the best way to go about that honestly is just sifting through a online manual of what handset you are looking at because the manuals will for the most part tell you if there is FM radio.

nick, 29 Jul 2024Pocket radios have largely fallen out of fashion years ago.... moreIf you don't care for FM radio than that is cool and entirely your business, but I am stating an alternative workaround that people who live in markets where consistent internet connection is simply not as viable as a option and I do not doubt that there are more people than ever on internet connections. Your case is not the case for everyone.

Let’s face it funny thing is when it’s in a wallet idk half of what people use unless they shove it under my face. Long as it does what I need , and I’d rather lose $300 than $1500 if I did, 3 things I pick reception tick, calls quality tick and no lag tick ✅ rest is fluff

Most people nowadays are connected to the internet and can use streaming apps to play whatever music they want. I don't want to sit through the radio hearing mainstream songs I don't necessarily like that get overplayed like hell, not to mention all the advertisements and boring talk shows.

ukraina, 25 Jul 2024Worse in who's opinion? I don't see anything spec... moreIt's not just Samsung, other companies are getting rid of the headphone jack, micro SD slot, and FM Radio on their phones as well.
But it's not like these features going missing would be the end of the world, there are several alternatives available in their absence:
- Headphone jack: Bluetooth headphones, or a USB-C to 3.5mm jack dongle if you want to keep using wired headphones.
- Card slot: USB OTG, portable hard drives, and cloud storage.
- FM Radio: Streaming services like Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music.
I know these alternative solutions won't please everyone, but that's just how the world is going forward. Times are changing for better or worse and we can't do much. One day you'll have no choice but to get along with the times and just accept how things are.

ukraina, 25 Jul 2024I wouldn't buy any Harry Potter book
Functions are t... moreIt doesn't have to be a Harry Potter book, it could be anything like a poster for a movie, packaging for food, box art for a video game, whatever. A bad design can turn customers away, because the first thing that people will see when buying a product is the outside. They won't be able to know how good the actual products will be are until they've consumed them.
All phones used to have bezels, so why are people complaining now? Because phone designs have changed over the years thanks to evolving trends. Bezels are now seen as sin in terms of viewing experience and looks.
In an age of punch holes and minimal bezels, the A25 looks like it could belong in 2019 or 2020. And when it's the ONLY $300 phone on the market with such outdated design, Samsung should really be ashamed, like being the only kid in school who wears clothing from the 1960s.
At the end of the day, it's all about good looks and going with the flow, just like fashion. You can ignore the trends and make products however you want them to be, but eventually you'll be left out and outpaced by the competition who are always on the latest trends.
